Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I will take on the reports 1 by 1

First, enlarged lacimal glands are nothing to be worried about unless she has excessive tearing from her eyes.

Second, EEG changes- I need to know of she was sleeping during the changes. Because then it may be normal. Else its abnormal and she has a potential of developing seizures and medial temporal epilepsy. Repeat MRI would be needed periodically in this case.

Third, MCV 81 might just be within normal range depending on the laboratory. We would need to know the labs reference range. As per me its normal, but at the lower limit. Checking hemoglobin would be advisable.

As for Amphetamine, it may actually benefit her, but may trigger a seizure. So I will not recommend it unless advised by a neurologist who has examined her.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
